Always Talulah







Wearing Talulah 'Lust in Life' shorts and Talulah 'Sounds of Time' tee
Available from Coco & Amy Boutique

I have decided that any time someone asks me for a great label to look up for ANY event I will answer "Talulah". . .  Always Talulah.

The Sounds of Time tee is HEAVENLY! At first I was slightly daunted by the sheer fabric, but it works! It's absolutely beautiful, and I love the burst of colour in the sequined detail on the front. This is a very versatile tee, with the ability to be dressed up or just thrown on. 

If you have been looking for a staple pair of shorts to replace those old denim daisy dukes that have been worn to death and would be far better off in a bin, then these are what you need. The Lust in life shorts are entirely lace and feature a curved hemline and are such a flattering cut on every body type.  The white colour creates a beautiful crisp, clean, classy look, or Coco & Amy also have them available in a lovely bright shade of tangerine. These are definitely a spring/ summer essential!

Introducing the Kuku Floral paradise Dress






Wearing the Kuku Floral paradise Dress. 
Available online at Coco & Amy Boutique.

This beautiful Kuku dress is absolutely perfect! It's made from an incredible light-weight and soft fabric and features a gathered frill front detail and boned bodice. One of my favourite features of this incredible dress is the concealed zip detail on the back . . . SO elegant. I am also beyond in love with the incredible thin straps that meet the gorgeous neckline. 

This dress is a necessity for this Spring/ Summer. I can see it at the races or even at a lovely Summer wedding. I simply can not speak highly enough of this simply beautiful piece!

Talulah loving...






Wearing the Talulah Tomorrow's Bliss Dress

So excited to show the first photos from my shoot for Coco & Amy Boutique! 

This Talulah dress is simply divine... It melts to your body showing curves in all the right places and the ruffle detail on the hip  has been flattering on every woman that I have seen wearing this dress. I am LOVING this pattern, a pattern that Talulah has recreated in many pieces this season. I can see this dress in a cocktail bar, out on a night dancing or in an office. The timeless design and colour pallet  would be a sound fashion investment for any wardrobe.

OH my goodness who is cooking? That smells so yummy!



Top- Talulah Sounds of Time Tee
Bottom- Kuku Floral Paradise Dress


Sorry that I have been M.I.A the last 2 weeks or so... I have been buried under a large pile of textbooks, assignments and stress. All of that hectic uni stuff has passed for a little while now and I have time to share with you some exciting news!

I will be collaborating with the lovely ladies from Coco & Amy Boutique!

YAY

This past weekend I undertook a large task. I am no model, nor have I ever done anything that could even be remotely referred to as modeling, but the girls from Coco & Amy believed I could do it so I gave it a shot.

I spent a lovely afternoon at Sanctuary Cove with my talented photographer and a beautiful wardrobe. I also dragged my ever supportive boy along for emotional support... for example when I was mid shoot and shouted loudly "OH my goodness who is cooking? That smells so yummy!" only to realise that that a 'real' model wouldn't do that HAHA. I guess I'll never be Cara... oh well!

I am so excited to get the photos back, but in the mean time here is a little sneak peek into the collaboration between Coco & Amy Boutique and Sugar Style Blogger.

Cabaret De Paris





 Last night was the opening night gala of Jupiters Casino's new show, Cabaret De Paris. Ever since receiving my invitation from the producers of the show I had been so excited, and spent many a night watching movies like Moulin Rouge and Burlesque, but nothing could have prepared me for last night.

With seasoned Moulin Rouge performer Marissa Burgess, and over $250,000 worth of costumes I embarked on a beautiful journey through Paris. The old Parisian cabaret songs met with new world music and dances and had the entire audience entranced. The raunchy yet classy burlesque features of the night were so tasteful and beautiful and really transported you to another time... another place.

The costumes, however, were on a whole other level. When worn ( yes thats right, you do see the occasional butt straight out of a fitness magazine, or the occasional breast), The costumes were simply breathtaking, and the detail exquisite. The costumes alone made the show worthwhile, but when you factor in the songs and dances, the circus acts, the illusionists and the performers it is a must.

Knowing full well that I was about to be surrounded my beautiful, voluptuous cabaret dancers I had quite a task deciding what to wear. So I must thank Witchery for my beautiful panel detail pencil skirt, and ASOS for this lovely lace peplum top. My shoes are by Tony Bianco.

Overall it was a wonderful night and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

ps- this show is best served with a glass of bubbly ;)

Today I'm rocking my black-leather Street Ball Cap by Witchery. It has been hands down my favourite accessory this winter. It covers bad hair days, it keeps the warmth in and it looks totally hot. I have never been a 'hat person', but as of late I am finding the options overwhelming and find myself slowly building up a little collection...  I see spring holding endless hat possibilities for me

A seamstress I am not





Good morning all!
So I was having one of those moments where you stare at your wardrobe for an eternity trying to decide what to wear. I have 3 wardrobes so you would think it would be easy to come up with an effortless/ chic uni outfit... but it turns out all girls have the same problem. After a relaxing cup of tea I decided to start a project. I decided to MAKE the perfect outfit.

I have a box of clothes that I have been meaning to take to an op shop for far too long. In this box was a pair of jeans that I picked up years ago in a vintage store and wore to death. I plucked them out, grabbed my incredibly neglected pair of sewing scissors and began.

After hacking off the legs I realised that I had no idea what I was doing! So that project has been set aside... If anyone has any tips for creating the perfect pair of cute, worn denim shorts for spring please comment below. Apparently I need a lot of help.

After setting aside 'the shorts' I had another look at my wardrobe and the perfect outfit practically walked out. So here is what I decided on. My new favourite kaftan from this spring/ summer collection of resort wear from Portmans paired with my cute Mel sandals

Hello



Well I've been sitting here for 20 minutes trying to decide what a 'fashion blogger' would write... I'm not coming up with much. Maybe it's because I'm not a fashion blogger in inverted commas, I'm Lucy... a fashion blogger?

I'll start by introducing myself. As I mentioned, my name is Lucy and everyone who knows me would describe me as overtly passionate about everything beautiful, largely including fashion. Now I'm not one of those girls who puts a potato sack on a model with some ridiculously dark eye makeup and calls it fashion (and charges a pretty penny for it). I prefer beautiful colours, prints and fabrics. At the moment I am loving brands like 'Bird and Kite', 'Staple the Label' and more or less anything adorable that you would find in a store like Princess Polly. 

In preparing for my first blog post I was panicked... even though my Grandma and my dog will probably be the only ones to bother reading it. So I found myself reading Rebecca Varcoe's article on The Vine: Fashion entitled 'How To Be a High Class Australian Fashion Blogger: A Field Report'. I found myself in stitches at her hilarious take on fashion blogging. What I found most humerous were the points that required me to constantly eat out (and document my eating on camera), acquire a photographer boyfriend and have an entirely white house in which to take photos. Well let me just say, as a university student on the Gold Coast I can't afford to even dream about constantly eating out, let alone actually doing it. This is mainly because ALL of my money goes into buying clothes. And as for the photographer boyfriend, well my boyfriend is an electrician... maybe he can build me a robot photographer? All of that aside, the article really is worth a read (even if just for a chuckle at Rebecca Varcoe's attempt at food photography). 

So I guess all I'm trying to say is I'm Lucy. Stay tuned, and follow my instagram @sugarstyleblogger
